Probably a stupid question, but how can I put my name on the list😅 Do I have to toot more?🥲

@TimTeaFan @smach There are no stupid questions! In fact this particular question is a frequently asked one, the first one on the FAQ page: https://fedidevs.com/faq/ 😊

Looks like your account is not discoverable and you've opted-out of search engine indexing. I try to respect people's privacy settings so I omit accounts without these settings.

I did a manual override so that you show up now, but this is a temporary fix and will be removed upon next reindex.

Another stupid question
RStats or rstats?

The FAQ suggests the latter, but a lot of folk have RStats in their profile

anze3db, 25 days ago

@johnmackintosh @TimTeaFan @smach it doesn't matter, the search is case insensitive so RStats and rstats are the exactly the same as far as the website is concerned!

@TimTeaFan @anze3db @smach I'm puzzled as well, as far as I can tell, I'm fully discoverable here, but I'm not on the list along with oodles of other #RStats folks that I follow. Several of us are on the RStats.me instance, even.

But I did find a few new profiles to follow, so that's at least working for me!

adamhsparks, 25 days ago

@TimTeaFan @anze3db @smach, nevermind, I scrolled down farther in the FAQ and see that rstats.me isn't indexed, so that explains it.

@adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @anze3db @smach seems like a serious omission!

anze3db, 25 days ago

@jimbob @adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @smach sorry about that! I have added the rstats.me and now 5 more rstats accounts have been added, including @adamhsparks's: https://fedidevs.com/rstats/?q=Adamhsparks

If you want me to add any other instance please let me know!

@jimbob @adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @anze3db @smach do we know if there is there a way to get new instance indexed?

anze3db, 25 days ago

@lwpembleton @jimbob @adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @smach you can open a PR and add the instance to the list here: https://github.com/anze3db/fedidevs/blob/main/accounts/management/commands/crawler.py#L12

but it's easier to just let me know and I’ll take care of it. 😊

Luke, I've added genomic.social just now, but you've opted-out of search engine indexing and still weren't showing up. See the FAQ for instructions on how to fix it: http://fedidevs.com/faq/

I did a manual override so that you show up now, but this is a temporary fix: https://fedidevs.com/rstats/?q=luke&o=-followers_count

@anze3db @jimbob @adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @smach Thanks heaps! I have also updated the search engine indexing - that explains why I've never seen anything show up in google. I just assumed it was a blanket thing for mastodon 🤦

@lwpembleton @jimbob @adamhsparks @TimTeaFan @smach it is a common gotcha, but I understand that a lot of admins opt to set privacy friendly defaults for their users.
